SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 741,244, dated October 13, 1903- Application filed November 29, 1901. $erial No. 53 L100. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, NATHAN I. HEOHT, a citizen of' the United States, residing at Baltimore, Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buckles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to buckles; and it consists in the features and combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The accompanying drawing represents a plan View of a buckle embodying my improvement.

In the drawing, 1 indicatesthe main frame of the buckle, having on the inner side of its side bars conical recesses 2 to receive the pointed ends 3 of a cross-bar or pivot-bar 4, which is adapted to have rotary movement in the said recesses 2. This cross-bar carries the gripping frame, which consists of the cross-bar 5 and the free ends 6, which latter extend substantially parallel with each other and pass through openings 7 in the cross-bar 4:, in which the said free ends are adapted to have slight sliding movement. The grippingframe is bent laterally, so as to overlap the side bars of the main frame at the point 8, which thus forms stops for the gripping-frame. I

As shown in the figure, the cross-bar of the gripping-frame is located slightly in rear of the front bar of the main frame.

I claim as my invention 1. A buckle'comprising a main frame, a pivot-bar having its ends mounted to rock in recesses in the sides of the main frame and a gripping-frame having its free ends arranged to slide in the pivot-bar and having side portions 8 overlapping the sides of the main frame, substantially as described.

2. A buckle comprising a main frame, a pivot-bar having its ends mounted to rock in recesses in the sides of the main frame and a gripping-frame having its rear free ends arranged to slide in the pivot-bar and having its front bar located slightly in rear of the front bar of the main frame, the said gripping-frame having also side portions at 8 overlapping the sides of the main frame, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I aifix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

NATHAN I. HEOIIT.
